Why Fasting?
The goal of fasting is to develop
Self-restraint (Taqwa).
Holy Quran states: "O you who believe!
Fasting is prescribed to you as it was
prescribed to those before you, so that you
may develop Taqwa (self-restraint) "
[2:183]
Example: Allah says about Maryam in
the Qur'an that she said: "Verily!, I
have vowed a fast to the Most
Beneficent...[Maryam 19:26].
